An Innovative New Inquiry-Based Traveling Exhibit
Be the Dinosaur™ is an
innovative new traveling exhibit which combines the excitement
of inquiry-based exhibit design with the proven appeal
of dinosaurs. Through an innovative blending of traditional
exhibits and advanced computer simulation, visitors travel
back in time 65+ million years ago and Be
the Dinosaur™. Learn about
their environment, the plants, animals and insects that
shared it, and the relationships between them in an accurate,
hands-on interactive world!
A quote from a seminar on dinosaur exhibits at the recent American Association of Museums Annual Meeting and Museum Expo 2005:
Q: "Two things, what's the length and breadth of what the kids wanted to know based on your focus group studies versus what you wanted them to know... What did the kids most express that they wanted to be able to do in the exhibits?"
A: "What they wanted to know is, they
wanted to know more about the dinosaurs that they were
fans of... What did they do all day?... Could a T.
rex swim?... Do they ever take a nap?... Do they
eat anything other than meat?... What would it be like
to be a dinosaur?...
The second part of your question was?... relating to what they... what
they wanted to do? Oh, (laughs) They wanted to
be dinosaurs. They wanted to try things out like a dinosaur.
So what the kids wanted to do is they wanted to be in
there in the scene, and they wanted to be dinosaurs."
Now they can!
